linuxPROXYsquid

I followed the guide at http://doxfer.webmin.com/Webmin/SquidProxyServer and I am trying to set up a Squid proxy server, but I get the follow error when I try and connect through the proxy:

    ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://google.com

The following error was encountered:

    Access Denied.

    Access control configuration prevents your request from being allowed at this time. Please contact your service provider if you feel this is incorrect. 

Your cache administrator is webmaster.

Sounds like a problem with your acl lists. Can you update us with any acl/allow lines you have?

It should look something like this: Taken from: http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidAcl

How do I allow my clients to use the cache? Define an ACL that corresponds to your client's IP addresses. For example:

acl myclients src 172.16.5.0/24 
Next, allow those clients in the http_access list:

http_access allow myclients
